Greatest diet ever
I just recently graduated recruit training in the United States Marine Corps. and I can now consider myself a Marine. Just to say that I weighed 211 lbs. when I went in and 13 weeks later I weigh 171 lbs. and I am at 5% body fat. Every single day they fed me a NUTRISOUS meal three times a day, and we burned probably 2500 calories per day with physical activities. I feel great. Just thought I would share my experience with everyone. Boot camp was challenging but the results are damn worth all of the hell.

My friend who was in the marines (just got his honorable discharge a couple weeks ago after 8 years) told me they put stuff in your food - is it true?

I know they have secret and special books for nutrition and training. Not that is something amazing they are hiding but the training for marines is quite amazing, because it focus on some many aspects. Can you tell something for us ?
 Upload one book. |

hey man congragulations on completeing training. I really look up to the marines, the guys who go out there and get shit done while all the talking heads on TV and in the papers whine and bitch.
I got a question for you? are things like protein powders and supplements (all legal of course) allowed in the marines, like your barracks or quarters or whatever its called?

they don't put stuff in your food... the government doesn't even serve the food to the marines anymore... it's subcontracted out to a company called Sodexho... not only do i work for that company but I eat at the messhalls myself at Camp Pendleton, Miramar MCAS, MCRD, Yuma MCAS, 29 Palms, and Bridgeport... actually when i started my job contracting with the USMC, i weighed over 205 pounds... after a year I was at 170 and currently sitting at about 182 after gaining some additional mass (and a few pounds of fat)
The only place i haven't been that I would like to visit is Parris Island... I hear that place is a NIGHTMARE... humidity and a training regimen that could and has KILLED... damn!
Are you kidding me????

reese,
Congrats on becoming a Marine and the results. If you can, go into more detail on what you exactly did, to get where you are at. |

I was in the US Army, and I went thru 12 weeks of bootcamp as well, but I cannot say the food was great or the "diet". It was just cafeteria food, we ate 3 times per day, nothing special.
Most people lose weight because you're unable to do any type of snacking, you basically eat those 3 meals every day and that is it. Also, you are very limited on time, you have 5-10 minutes to eat, so it's difficult to overeat at any one meal. And of course the activity level is pretty high, we used to get up every day (6 days per week) at 4am and we were going non-stop until about 10pm. We marched every where we went, had physical training, etc. all day long.  BOARD SPONSORS:

Not necessarily the diet, cause from what I remember we could eat all kinds of crap if we wanted to, they had deserts and junk available at every meal.
I think it's a combination of only being allowed to eat those 3 times each day, and a high activity level 6 days per week. Personally I did not lose weight, I went into bootcamp in top shape, if anything I stayed the same. I do remember many overweight recruits that came out in better shape than they entered in.
